⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Exploring the MBTA Green Line in Boston (2023)

[@apexhunter935]

That sweet sweet serotonin of the r142a propulsion

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

As well as R143 & 188

[@TheREALTHAAANG]

​​@@HayleyKiyokoLineBMTYeah they all have the same propulsion system

[@adrianwitzburg3009]

All of them use Bombardier/Adtranz propulsion

[@BakaryRoleplayGaming]

These trolleys sound like the New York City Subway R142A/R143/R188 Trains. 😃😎 Cool video DJ Hammers Trains!

[@kristainviayoutube500]

the R142 has a different propulsion though

[@BakaryRoleplayGaming]

@@kristainviayoutube500 Hi. Yes I know 😃😎

[@kristainviayoutube500]

@@BakaryRoleplayGaming oh my fault I thought you wrote “R142” not “R143”

[@williamyoon7660]

Yes, I believe the traction system for these NYC Subway cars are the same as the one that is heard on the Type 8 cars.

[@adrianwitzburg3009]

Yup, made by Adtranz/Bombardier

[@christianzhouzheng]

Everyone talks about the propulsion sounds, but I love how you can tell D branch stations by sight - they used to be mainline stations on the B&A Highland branch before being converted to light rail operation, so they have big station buildings (e.g. 1:30) and an exclusive ROW, as opposed to the other branches which run in avenue medians.

[@scottyerkes1867]

Great system. Boston's Green Line has expanded a lot. Thanks for a good review😀😀👌👌

[@TheDylanJoyce]

Thank you for visiting! The Green Line LOVES visitors!

[@HayleyKiyokoLineBMT]

I love that sound. Good job DJ

[@DerrickTan74]

Love the Type 8's MITRAC propulsion! Also, I didn't know the Type 7/8 got new LED destination signs, I remember that they had LCD signs like the ones the R46 has.

[@adrianwitzburg3009]

They replaced them in 2021-2022 because they were too difficult to read

[@WHALEPSHIZZ]

Also the glx

[@kirbivore77]

Used to live off the Summit Ave Green Line (B) stop. If I felt like working out a bit I could also jump off the Cleveland Circle Green Line (C) stop.

[@geofftech]

love the way that propulsion "sings"

[@davidng2336]

These LRVs will be replaced soon. The Type 7s and Type 8s will be replaced by the new Type 10s, while the Type 9s will either stay as backup or go to Ashmont to replace the PCCs.

[@orion45]

I thought they couldn't replace the PCCs because of a weight issue?

[@davidng2336]

@@orion45 they’re gonna rebuild the line to hold the LRVs.

[@bryanaustin97]

The type 10s will replace all the type 7&8s and yes the type 9s are going to replace the pcc's they are gonna do lot's of rebuilding wen that day comes

[@adrianwitzburg3009]

The PCC’s can’t last forever as they’re almost 80 years old

[@Birgenair3011]

I haven’t been on the mbta but I heard it was good service and plus they sound like the R142A

[@nachelle2]

I want to be a operator of this train one day 😄

[@bryanaustin97]

Im a operator for them and Hopefully one day u are 😎

5:56 Why is the Medford/Tufts train going in the opposite direction?

[@Dusty_617]

Should be even better soon with the ongoing removal of slow zones

[@Xe99]

Love the NYC content but MBTA is more local. Thank you for doing a video.

[@The09creeper]

5:17 oof that flat spot sounds bad

[@patleung4176]

What camera / settings are you using? Super clear.

[@Bobrogers99]

It's not especially rapid transit, and I'm not keen on the screaming drive system, but it still beats driving or walking.

[@rogermccarthy5885]

You missed the heath street line.

[@vietthongNguyen-fe2se]

The green line used to be the old carts that you see on boylston station but changed because many crashes happened

[@ELST1D]

How much is the fare?

[@MbtaVideoClips]

$2.40 one way

[@theoldbayrailfan]

I don’t think that’s green line tracks

[@TransitIslandExtras]

*very short train*

[@jeremiahtaylor1817]

That’s what happens with light rail

[@TransitIslandExtras]

OK

[@MbtaVideoClips]

Shorter than the blue line… (least busiest line). Luckily the frequencies are amazing where all 4 branches merge (can be 1-2 minute waits during rush hour)

[@graffmixer]

Green Line is on the works on getting new trains (Type 10 from CAF USA) which are going to be way longer. No need for a two train system
